One local resident, who was visiting the recycling point on the Willows Estate, described the scene as "disgusting" as he managed to dispose of used cans in one of the bins that was not busting to the seams.

The most fly-tipped recycling point is the one at Morrisons on Grimsby Road, where there is a mountain of waste piled up against all of the recycling bins there.

Every single recycling point has a sign from the council stating that if the bins are full, then residents will need to go to another recycling centre, as any waste that is left at the bins will be deemed as fly-tipping.

“If you’re paying someone to get rid of waste on your behalf, you must check they are licensed to take it. If you don’t, you could be fined along with the person who dumps it.

“We investigate fly-tips on our land and gather evidence to prosecute criminals who dump waste illegally.

“The council is responsible for clearing fly-tips on adopted highways and council-owned land, but if it happens on private land then it’s usually the owner or occupier that’s responsible for removing it.”
